The Crty Manager stated that the City cannot require all the property owners along this intercepCor to pay for construction of the main at a sufficiently low elevation to enable one home to drain the � basement into the main, The sewage main is located at a sufficient depth that it can provide service to all of the house of P4r, Quam except the basement, and Mr. quam can receive sewage service for the basement by installing a svmp pump to provlde drainage from the basement.

He asked whether Che City had purchased a svmp pump and installed it for the henefit of the property owner. The City Manager answered that he did not remember what the City had done in that case.

Councilman Kirkham stated that he had taken a look at the property and believed the foundation of the basement home to be sound. Councilman Kirkham stated, ��a however, that he hated to approve the construction of two homes on such small lots, even though the City has done so before in order to get rid of basement homes, shacks and other unsightly construction, and that granting the request of the Alan Construction Company would at least cover the basement home with an improved structure, The City Engineer stated that the superstructure of the proposed new home to be built upon the existing foundation was 10 feet from the lot 1ine, that the owre r owned the next two lots and the grant for a Building Permit should stipixlate tt� construction on the two ad�acent lots be set back 15 feet from the lot line in order to comply with the zoning ordinances.

The Mayor asked if this question should not have been submitted to the Board of Appeals for a ruling. The City Planager stated that it was not submitted to the Board of Appeals because there was nothing the Board of Appeals could waive except the request for a setback. Councilman Kirkham stated that the basement home was becoming a �uvenile hangout. The Mayor asked whether the vacant home had been condemned in the past and if so, why the City was now proposing to grant a$uilding Permit to construct a home on a condemned foundation. The City Manager answered that the basement home had been condemned as unEit for occupancy, but the foundation was sound and it was feasible to build a home on the foundation. The Nlayor asked Mr. PeYerson whether a bank mortgage will be used to finance construction of the home upon the basement foundation. Mr. Peterson answered, "Yes." Mayor Nee asked Mr. Peterson � whether the bank has examined the basement foundation with the intent of grant�ng the mortgage for the construction of the home. Mr. Peterson answered that there was no point in having the bank examine the basement home until the propexty was improved. Councilman K�rkham asked if it is correct that the code stipulates that a house must be built within 18 months after the issue of a Building Permit. The City Manager answered that Councilman Kirkham was correct and that this building had been built before the Ordinance had been passed.
